CNN’s Don Lemon makes waves, sometimes at his own network’s expense | The Cutline - Yahoo! News:

"Don Lemon is having a coming out party--and this one has nothing to do with the CNN weekend anchor's recent announcement that he's gay.

Lemon--who came out of the closet in a memoir published in May--was the focus of a 'Daily Show' segment last week.

'Every so often a news anchor ends up becoming a story,' Stewart said. 'Dan Rather roughed up on the floor of the Democratic Convention, Marv Albert having a sex scandal, Barbara Walters causing the destruction on the Hindenburg. But lately watching CNN I've noticed something brewing there newsworthy as well.'

Stewart then introduced the segment--'CNN anchor appears to not care for CNN'--with a clip of Lemon blissfully dismissing a CNN segment about a study that calculated the real-life cost of Harry Potter's education to be more than Harvard's. Stewart suggested CNN producers create a show to showcase Lemon's hard journalism chops called 'Lemon Harangue.'

(Earlier in the week, Lemon was name-checked on 'The Colbert Report' by Stephen Colbert failing to recognize a guest's vampire fangs.)"
